  • the latest DTI statistics, including new information on causes accidents
  • an examination of the effectiveness of initiatives post-Egan
  • a new section on the influence of European initiatives
  • expanded coverage of sustainability and the environmental drivers affecting construction - as well as the industry's response
  • an enlarged section on labour resources and the skills gap
  • a new look at the role of IT and how it is changing the design, construction and operation of buildings

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
